SUMMARY:A Certain Ratio
DESCRIPTION:October 2026 Sextet and Force Anniversary tour \n  \nIn October ACR will be hitting the road to celebrate the Anniversary of their classic and beloved albums\, Sextet and Force.\nBoth albums will be played in full with an interval in between and some surprises thrown in. \nIt’s 45 years since ACR went into Revolution Studios in Cheadle Hulme\, Stockport to record the 1982 album Sextet and it’s 40 years since the release of the 1986 album Force which was also recorded in Stockport but at Yellow 2. Sextet is ACR’s most critically acclaimed album and it was the first album they produced as ACR\, it includes the majestic Lucinda and the live favourite Knife Slits Water. Force is one of their most commercial albums\, produced by ACR and the late Stuart (Jammer) James and is their last album on Factory Records\, it includes funky masterpiece Mickey Way and live party favourite Si Firmo O Grido. Each album is starkly different to each other yet very clearly ACR. \n“We’re celebrating these two milestones with this tour to say we are very excited is an understatement. It will be a real challenge\, which we’ve already started preparing for\, with nine months to go! We will be playing two sets with no support” \n \n \n \n“SEXTET is an album of the present\, killing the past and agreeably ignoring the future. It is an after-Rock Record. This is one of the most strategically tired albums you’ll hear all year. It is also one of the best.”\nSounds – 5 Stars \n \nLinks\nwww.acrmcr.com \n

SUMMARY:Annie-Claude Deschênes + Chris Bainbridge (Man of Moon)

SUMMARY:Jon Gomm
DESCRIPTION:Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer based in Yorkshire\, UK\, known for his once-seen-never-forgotten virtuoso guitar style. \nThis involves slapping\, tapping and retuning as he plays\, producing a huge\, multi-layered sound filled with bass\, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity from a single guitar. His songs are often deeply emotive\, whether with or without his soft\, affecting voice. And his live performances are intimate and powerful\, but always punctured by his natural North Of England wit and self-deprecation. \nIn 2020 Jon was voted “Best Acoustic Guitarist In The World” in the largest online poll of its type\, conducted by MusicRadar / Guitar World. Ibanez guitars launched the JGM10 and JGM5 Jon Gomm Signature Model guitars in 2021. He’s the 3rd guitarist ever to design a signature acoustic with Ibanez\, the previous two being Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. \nIn 2023\, Jon’s song Passionflower was placed 6th in Total Guitar’s “50 Greatest Acoustic Guitar Songs Of All Time”\, just behind The Beatles’ Blackbird and Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton. Jon is also a passionate advocate for mental health and neuro-diversity. \n \n \n \n“Once you get over the jaw dropping manoeuvres and technique\, you will be rewarded with some spectacularly beautiful songs.”\nBlues & Soul magazine (UK) \n“One of the world’s most gifted and inspirational guitar players.”\nAcoustic Magazine (UK) \n“Hands down the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen!”\nTommy Lee\, Motley Crue \n \nLinks\nwww.jongomm.com \n

SUMMARY:cancelled - Mr Bruce
DESCRIPTION:Both as The Correspondents and a solo artist\, Mr Bruce has achieved cult status for his live shows taking him as far as New Zealand\, Australia and Chile where he played in front of audiences of over 10\,000 fans\, both old and new. Maniacal and balletic\, his performance lands somewhere between contemporary dance and rave.  \n  \n\nFollowing a summer packed full of festival dates\, Mr Bruce will venture throughout his home country for his largest ever headline tour in support of his highly anticipated debut album\, OK\, released on state51 on 15th May 2026. \nOK is a multi-genre masterpiece produced by Angus Kemp spanning hyperpop\, garage\, hip hop and ambient with guest vocals from legendary musician Brian Eno\, cult US rapper Homeboy Sandman and emerging UK talent HAM. Together they navigate the subjects of grief\, protest and a love of the ocean with extraordinary energy\, dexterity and depth. \nLooking ahead to the tour this Autumn\, Mr Bruce said “I have found over the years that gigs/clubs/festivals that I’ve played have gone from being about the pursuit of hedonism to something else. There’s still all the dancing and raucous energy\, but there’s also space created for a little catharsis if that’s what you need. Many of the songs that I’ve made are designed for the dancefloor\, but the lyrics are about processing grief and standing in defiance of systems built to oppress and divide us. For my new live show I want to make a space for collective engagement with the complexity of our volatile world along with the release of dancing and shaking it all out with a room full of people.” \n\n\n \n \nLinks\nwww.mrbruce.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:James Walsh (Starsailor) & Ben Ottewell (Gomez)
DESCRIPTION:Experience an unforgettable night as two of the best voices of the past 30 years unite for a special double bill. James Walsh of Starsailor and Ben Ottewell of Gomez will share the stage for a powerful evening of live music. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see these iconic artists perform side by side. \n  \nJames Walsh Starsailor frontman and solo artist – first found success as the lead singer\, songwriter and guitarist with multi-platinum indie- rock band Starsailor. While known for iconic hits like Good Souls and Alcoholic\, James has also carved out a powerful solo career\, releasing acclaimed albums including Turning Point (2014)\, Tiger on the Bridge(2019)\, and Small Illusions (2021). \nJames has a prolific back catalogue\, and his latest EP ‘Renewal’ offers the trademarks of James’ all-encompassing signature sound – beautifully-crafted songs\, tender balladry\, gorgeous melodies and candid lyricism which transports the listener into another dimension thanks to his captivating and endearing delivery. \nWhether performing solo or with a band\, James Walsh brings raw emotion and timeless songs to life with powerful\, intimate live shows. From Starsailor hits to heartfelt solo tracks – every performance is unforgettable \n  \nBen Ottewell is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist best known as a founding member of the critically acclaimed British band Gomez. Ottewell’s distinctive baritone voice and blues-inspired guitar work became central to Gomez’s unique sound.\nGomez formed in the late 1990s\, quickly gaining attention for their eclectic style\, which blended blues\, rock\, folk\, and indie influences. Gomez’s 1998 debut album\, Bring It On\, was a breakout success\, winning the prestigious Mercury Prize and propelling the band to international recognition. \nThroughout Gomez’s career\, Ottewell’s soulful voice and introspective lyrics resonated with fans\, earning him a dedicated following. His solo career saw him exploring a more stripped-down acoustic sound\, showcasing his raw talent and emotive storytelling. Ben is well known for his unmistakable voice and talent for blistering and inspired guitar solos. \nAnd as GQ Magazine once wrote and anyone listening can attest\, “[his] voice is not of this world.” \n \n \nLinks\njameswalshmusic \n  \nbenottewell \n

SUMMARY:Chris Helme
DESCRIPTION:From his breakthrough success with The Seahorses to an enduring solo career\, Chris Helme has always excelled at pouring his heart into music – in the process creating songs as affectingly emotional as they are obviously accomplished. Now\, thirty years on from that first spotlight moment\, the singer-songwriter provides a taste of his ever popular live shows with the new album ‘Forest For The Trees’. \nThe record sees Chris revisit a selection of key songs from his journey so far. It covers hits and deep cuts from The Seahorses\, favourites from his solo albums ‘Ashes’ (2010) and ‘World Of My Own’ (2024)\, plus the previously unreleased ‘Fancy Free’. The material is stripped back and warm in its organic live feel – the idea being to give fans a record which reflects the show they have just seen. \nThe Seahorses were only together for less than three years\, but they achieved more than most bands do in decades: a massive Platinum-certified album\, several chart hits\, gigs with Oasis\, The Rolling Stones and U2\, working with Tony Visconti\, and selling-out tours around the world. And since then\, Chris has flourished with a solo career\, constantly playing up-and-down the country to audiences split between original Britpop-era fans and youngsters who have discovered his catalogue via their parents’ record collection. \n \n \nLinks\nchrishelme.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:The Songs of Jeff Buckley performed by Slow Pilot
DESCRIPTION:More than two decades after his untimely death\, Jeff Buckley remains one of the most captivating and influential figures in modern music history. \n  \nHis singular studio album Grace has long transcended cult status\, becoming a global touchstone for artists and audiences across generations and borders. Today\, Buckley’s legacy continues to grow and resonate internationally\, inspiring new listeners while remaining deeply meaningful to those who have carried his music with them for years. \n  \nThat renewed global attention has been further intensified by the recent release of the acclaimed documentary It’s Never Over\, Jeff Buckley\, which has reignited worldwide fascination with his life\, his voice\, and his artistic depth. The ongoing attention around Buckley once again highlights what fans have always known. His music remains emotionally powerful\, fragile\, and strikingly relevant. Belgian band Slow Pilot bring Jeff Buckley’s music to the stage with the deepest respect and musical precision. As far as we know\, they are the only band worldwide capable of awakening the true soul\, mystery\, and magic of his work. The voice of singer Pieter Peirsman comes so close to Buckley’s that it becomes almost unsettling. Grace is performed in its entirety\, honoring the album’s raw beauty\, emotional intensity\, and timeless songwriting\, followed by a selection of additional songs that further reveal Buckley’s range and expressive depth. \n  \nFor the countless fans who have never seen him live\, this is an excellent second chance. For others\, it is the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the powerful musical legacy he left behind. \n \n \nLinks\nslowpilot.be \n

SUMMARY:Tom Robinson with Adam Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Tall Tales and Top Tunes from 50 Years in the Record Industry 1975-2025\n \nTom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry. \nClassic hits such as War Baby\, Up Against The Wall\, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway rub shoulders with a Radio 1 ban for being Glad To be Gay\, rocking against racism with The Clash\, writing songs with Elton John\, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel\, drug smuggling in East Germany\, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman. Plus fan favourites from his vast back catalogue\, spanning Café Society in 1975 to his acclaimed 2015 comeback album Only The Now. \nTom Robinson’s first record release was in 1975 as one-third of Café Society: an acoustic harmony trio discovered by Ray Davies at The Troubadour folk club in London’s Earls Court. The album sold just 500 copies. After seeing an early Sex Pistols gig at The 100 Club\, Tom made a rapid change of direction and formed the Tom Robinson Band with rock guitarist Danny Kustow. TRB were early supporters of Rock Against Racism and soon enjoyed Top 5 success with their debut single for EMI: 2-4-6-8 Motorway. \nBrief notoriety followed in early 1978 with the LGBT anthem Glad To Be Gay\, and a few months later the band’s first album Power In The Darkness entered the charts at No.4. Over the last 50 years Tom’s been mentored by Alexis Korner and Martin Carthy\, written songs with Elton John and Peter Gabriel\, toured with The Police\, Red Wedge and The Undertones\, and Rocked Against Racism for a crowd of 80\,000 – alongside The Clash\, Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex. \nHe’s been banned by Radio One\, exiled in East Berlin\, and hounded by the tabloids for being in love with a woman. More recently he’s given over ten thousand artists their first national airplay on his BBC Introducing shows for 6 Music and served for ten years on the Ivor Novello Awards committee. At age 75 Tom still enjoys a reputation among his punk contemporaries – and in the world of acoustic/roots music – as both a master songsmith and a funny\, ferocious live performer. \n  \n \nLinks\nwww.tomrobinson.com \n

SUMMARY:Black Bordello
DESCRIPTION:  \nBlack Bordello are an art-rock band from London\, fronted by Sienna Bordello\, whose emotive soprano and macabre lyricism have been compared to the likes of Björk\, Kate Bush\, and Siouxsie & the Banshees. \n  \nSpearheaded by Sienna’s operatic vocals and vivid\, fragmented songwriting\, their metamorphic brand of alternative rock is enchanted with elements of vaudeville\, post-punk\, jazz\, psychedelia\, gothic rock and chamber pop. Since their emergence after the pandemic\, they have released two studio albums which were reviewed in CLASH\, Wonderland\, Loud & Quiet\, Fred Perry & So Young\, played on BBC Radio 6\, and one of the songs was remixed by the bassist of legendary goth group Bauhaus. \n  \nAfter its release and successful headline launch at MOTH Club in September\, their album amassed over 80k in organic streams as well as 18k+ views on their music video for ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’. They showcased at Rotterdam’s Left of the Dial in 2024\, and in 2025 they supported Pete Doherty\, performed multiple times at NYC’s New Colossus Festival\, and released another visionary music video for single ‘Acid Mary’ \n..\nFollowing a litany of acclaimed live shows supporting the likes of The Libertines\, Goat Girl\, Fat Dog and Pretty Sick\, and a busy summer of festivals including Bestival\, the band have just recorded their third studio album with Balazs Altsach (Ugly\, The Orchestra for Now\, Legss)\, leading the group’s zealous genre-hopping into new territories influenced by trip-hop and industrial. So far in 2026\, the band have headlined London’s 100 Club\, released two new singles\, and they are now gearing up for a summer of festivals\, the September release of their new EP (‘Midheaven Tempest’) alongside their biggest headline yet at Oslo Hackney\, and an EU tour in November\, including Berlin’s 8mm festival and support slots with Bauhaus’ David J. \n  \n \nLinks\nblackbordello.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:Penetration
DESCRIPTION:Penetration formed in Ferryhill\, County Durham in 1976 at the very beginning of the punk rock phenomenon. An exciting live prospect\, respected by peers and dedicated fans\, the group signed to Virgin Records in 1977 and released their first single\, the punk classic ‘Don’t Dictate’\, that Autumn.  \nTheir debut album\, ‘Moving Targets’\, was released in 1978 to critical acclaim and commercial success (reaching no. 22 in the UK album chart) and showcased a confident outfit that had already expanded its musical and creative vision. Their bass\, drums and twin guitar line-up became a distinctive feature of the band’s sound\, while singer Pauline Murray’s fearless yet vulnerable vocals fitted perfectly with their anthemic and often complex song arrangements. \nThey toured constantly and after a lengthy US trek in the early summer of 1979 returned to make their second album\, ‘Coming Up For Air’. Produced by Steve Lillywhite\, the sessions were rushed and caused tension in the ranks\, but even so produced excellent songs such as ‘Come Into The Open’ (released as a single) and ‘Shout Above The Noise’ that ensured a healthy Top 40 chart placing for the finished record. However\, a combination of stress and pressure from both label and management proved telling factors when Murray announced onstage at Newcastle City Hall that Penetration were splitting up upon completion of their Autumn UK tour. \nMurray and bass player Robert Blamire continued to write together and teamed up with producer\, Martin Hannett to record the proto dream pop single ‘Dream Sequence’ with The Invisible Girls. Released in August 1980\, it was swiftly followed by the Top 30 album ‘Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls’ (reissued to rave notices by Factory Benelux in 2014) and a tour with John Cooper Clarke. That same year\, Murray also provided guest vocals on the swan song album release by The Only Ones\, ‘Baby’s Got A Gun’ (including the single ‘Fools’)\, while Blamire began an association with the highly rated Scars that resulted in him producing their acclaimed ‘Author Author!’ album. \nIn 2002\, Murray was persuaded to reform Penetration. Of its original members\, only Murray\, Blamire and drummer Gary Smallman remained\, with guitarists Steve Wallace and Paul Harvey (who appeared on the ‘Storm Clouds’ album) augmenting the line-up. Over the ensuing years they have played numerous live shows\, including regular appearances at the UK’s Rebellion punk music festival. They have also released two 7” singles (both on the Damaged Goods label)\, in 2015\, following a crowd funding campaign\, Penetration released their first album in 36 years\, Resolution\, augmented by former Buzzcock John Maher on drums and mixed by original guitarist Fred Purser. \nFurther line up changes have ensued over the following years\, as Penetration have continued to play high profile shows and festivals\, including Bearded Theory and Rebellion\, and 2024 saw them tour the UK playing their debut album Moving Targets in full. In 2023 Pauline published her autobiography Life’s A Gamble to critical acclaim. \n  \n \nLinks\nwww.paulinemurrayx.com \n

SUMMARY:Lydia Lunch & Marc Hurtado
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Lunch has crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of Suicide upon arrival in New York at age 16\, in the late ’70s. \nThe first Suicide show she attended was a real shock – a revelation of a new form of concert: a total show\, theatrical\, free\, violent. Since then\, a close relationship\, as much artistic as friendship\, has united them. Lydia Lunch performed on “Frankie Teardrop” by Suicide on stage and on record\, and she sang a duet with Alan Vega on the album SNIPER by Alan Vega and Marc Hurtado in 2010. \nMarc Hurtado\, had already met Alan Vega and Lydia Lunch on his Etant Donnés RE-UP album “Be” in 1999 and he formed the project My Lover The Killer in 2013 with Lydia Lunch\, with whom they recorded an album and played on stage. \nSince 2014\, Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado have joined forces for events based around Suicide and Alan Vega songs. It will be a kind of sonic “Blitzkrieg” and a visual shamanic ceremony\, where both artists will burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of Suicide and Alan Vega. \nLydia Lunch is a nomadic gypsy in eternal metamorphosis that almost lost her life for her art dozens of times in 35 years. Musician\, writer\, photographer and performance artist\, she appeared on the New York music scene in 1977 with the No Wave pioneers\, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. In search of inspiration and cooperation she worked with Karen Finley\, Hubert Selby Jr\, Nick Cave\, William Burroughs or Virginie Despentes\, she lived in New York\, Brooklyn\, New Orleans\, San Francisco\, Pittsburgh\, Los Angeles\, London. She has visited 656 cities to perform on stage for concerts\, spoken-word\, installations in clubs\, theatres and museums. \nMarc Hurtado is a musician\, performer\, poet\, painter\, producer and filmmaker who co-founded the French duo ETANT DONNES with his brother Eric in 1977. He has made more than 20 albums and played concerts around the world in places like Kitchen ( New York)\, the Fondation Cartier (Paris)\, the Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, the Sonar Festival (Barcelona)\, the Atonal Festival (Berlin)\, and Transmusicales (Rennes). \nApart from this duo and solo project Sol Ixent\, he has collaborated with many cult figures including Alan Vega\, Genesis P.Orridge\, Michael Gira (Swans)\, Gabi Delgado (DAF)\, Craig Walker ( Archive)\, Pascal Comelade\, Z’ev\, Philippe Grandrieux\, Christophe\, Saba Komossa (Delkom)\, Mark Cunningham (MARS)\, Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. His films were screened in Beaubourg Paris\, FID Marseille\, the French Cinematheque in Paris\, the Locarno Film Festival\, BAFICI Festival Buenos Aires\, Mostra de Valencia and recently at the MoMA in New York\, which also acquired his latest feature film “Jajouka\, something good comes to you” for its collection. \n \n \n \nLinks\nwww.lydia-lunch.net \n

SUMMARY:Reinhardt Buhr
DESCRIPTION:The story of Reinhardt Buhr’s musical journey is one of transformation\, inspiration\, and devotion. \nAt the age of 19\, a friend’s newfound passion for the guitar spurred him on to pursue it himself. He discovered the flamenco guitar a year in and almost immediately landed his first little local gig. As a result of his natural talent\, he was able to form a band that successfully toured all across the country in a very short amount of time. \nReinhardt started out with playing the guitar to adding various instruments to his live set like: Electric cello\, didgeridoo\, piano\, drums\, hang drum\, shofar\, electric saxophone and much more! However\, Reinhardt’s rise in the music scene was accompanied by a descent into a dark periodof substance abuse\, leaving him disconnected from his true self and from his surroundings. It was only after reaching a profound low that Reinhardt turned to God for help. In 2016\, Reinhardt and his wife experienced a life-changing spiritual awakening that marked the beginning of their healing and salvation journey. He shifted from seeking fame and fortune to dedicating his entire music to playing for God as a result of this transformation. This transformation not only restored Reinhardt’s life\, but also redefined his purpose as a musician. \nAs a result of this new direction in his music\, he has accumulated over 2 million social media fans who are captivated by his performances’ authenticity and spiritual depth. Reinhardt Buhr’s music today goes far beyond an artistic expression; it is an offering of worship that seeks to bring healing\, peace\, and the presence of God to all listeners. A testament to grace\, redemption\, and the transformative power of committing one’s talents to a higher purpose\, his story is a testament to all of these things. \n \n\n \nLinks\nreinhardtbuhr.com/en-gbp \n

SUMMARY:Cash - The American Recordings
DESCRIPTION:No country music icon has the depth\, enigma and songwriting weight of Johnny Cash. And there’s nobody better suited to honour and revitalize this legacy than Australian outlaw country founding-figure and brooding baritone Henry Wagons. \nKnown as the “Man in Black”\, Cash’s music has always embraced the existential void and stared down the darkness head-on. No period of his esteemed career did this more so than his infamous\, late-career American Recordings albums recorded with creative guru Rick Rubin. Across the course of these six albums released between 1996 and 2006\, Cash’s every syllable serves as both a show-down and an embrace of death itself. These American Recordings records were the instigators for Henry Wagons to pick up the guitar and serve as the embryo for an esteemed career playing his own brand of gothic country music over a quarter century. Now\, spanning space and time\, these two Titans of twang\, Cash and Wagons\, perfectly intertwine in this new show honoring the songs\, arrangements and stories behind these perfectly-curated songs. \nIn CASH: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECORDINGS\, HENRY WAGONS will lean into the deep mythology and sound of The American Recordings Albums. Featuring the favourites Solitary Man (Neil Diamond)\, I Hung My Head (Sting)\, The Mercy Seat (Nick Cave)\, Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)\, One (U2) and more\, Wagons and his band The Tennessee Studs will re-create the sonic depth\, poise and ominous force of the original recordings\, as if you were sitting with Cash and Rubin in the control room. \n \n\n \nLinks\nwww.wagonsmusic.com \n

SUMMARY:Josienne Clarke sings Sandy Denny
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer-songwriter Josienne Clarke will tour with a full band and a new show dedicated to the immortal songs and genius of Sandy Denny. \nJosienne Clarke has been hailed as the songwriter-poet of melancholy\, as well as a thrilling interpreter of traditional song. In the wake of her acclaimed new album\, Parenthesis\, I\, she is now stepping up to honour Sandy Denny – a singer with whom she has been compared – with a show that brings Denny’s music to a new generation. \n“If I can take one young fan of mine and introduce them to Sandy\, in a context that they can grab hold of\,” she says. “If they like my music they will love Sandy. And that would be the whole concept sorted. To pass it on\, so that these songs can go on forever.” \nSongs like ‘An Old-Fashioned Waltz’\, ‘Reynardine’\, ‘Fotheringay’ and ‘The Sea’. “You’d be shot for not including ‘Who Knows Where the Time Goes’\,” she adds. “And ‘Solo’ is a beautiful song\, one that has personal resonance for me.” \nRather than a solo show\, audiences can expect a folk-rock set-up of guitar\, piano\, bass and drums. “I want to be free to sing\,” says Clarke\, who usually accompanies herself on guitar. “It’ll be an ensemble to get all the textures and tones that you can get out of her music.” \nClarke describes Denny’s songs as her north star – a constant guiding light. “Look at how brilliant they are – and there are so many of them. And each one has gold in it.” \nIf any contemporary performer is set to extract that gold and fashion it anew\, it is Josienne Clarke. \n \n\n \nLinks\njosienneclarke.com \n

SUMMARY:Dan Owen
DESCRIPTION:Known for his arresting\, husky vocals and gritty\, blues-infused pop/rock\, Dan Owen is a British alternative singer/songwriter from Shropshire\, England. \nOwen became interested in music at an early age\, taking up guitar at nine years old and performing with his sister\, who had taken up singing. Their Dad encouraged them to perform at open-mike events at local pubs throughout their teens. After his sister left for University\, Owen took to performing solo and began appearing at live events at various pubs and clubs throughout the area surrounding Shropshire. Performing under the name “Bluesboy Dan”\, he gradually earned a committed fan base with his passionate versions of songs by artists such as Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker while also focusing on writing his own material. \nIn 2012 an online video of the young guitarist performing Bob Dylan’s “The Ballad of Hollis Brown” began to generate widespread attention. After a couple more years of relentless performing in which he began to include his own songs\, he was signed to Atlantic Records in 2015 and put out his debut EP\, Bad for Me\, later that year. In 2016 he put out his second EP\, Open Hands & Enemies\, before a European tour with Birdy as support act. \nHe then spent 2017 writing and recording his debut full-length effort. The album — titled Stay Awake with Me — arrived in August 2018. Owen promoted the record with a U.K. and European tour that fall. Dan has toured UK and Europe with the likes of Kaleo\, Alice Merton\, Tall Heights\, Seafret\, 2 tours with Birdy\, a full US tour with Blanco White\, other supports from Manfred Man\, Valarie Dune\, Paul Jones\, Brian Adams and our very own Wille and the Bandits. \nThe second album from the Shrewsbury troubadour landed on Nov 24th. The Willow Tree is Dan Owen’s most honest and real music to date. It contains cuts from songwriter royalty – the late\, great Scott English and incredible guitar playing from Canadian master Ariel Posen. \n \n\n \n“This is the album I’ve always wanted to make. From every word sung\, every note played and even the unplanned dog barking in the background of Call Out\, they’re all moments I’ll always remember.”\nDAN OWEN (Quote about the album) \n“Dan played like he was headlining Wembley: in fact\, if he gave it any more effort\, we’d be genuinely concerned that he was about to have a heart attack. Seriously\, the guy was that good.”\nONE ON ONE \n \nLinks\nwww.danowenmusic.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:Tankus
DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade Tankus have offered a visceral\, transcendental rock ‘n’ roll experience. The hardest-working band in town\, they’ve played roughly 1400 shows\, criss- crossing the continent in the process. \nLed by the redoubtable\, the Jaz Delorean\, with João Mello on sax and vocals\, Dan Hipkin on bass\, Jack Price on guitar\, João Taborda on drums and Russ Evans on trombone\, the band have scored numerous highs\, building an astonishingly loyal fanbase in the process. \nThey’re a deeply theatrical endeavour\, akin to shows by Tom Waits or the Sensational Alex Harvey Band\, but with a modern twist\, reminiscent of the raw power of The Fat White Family or Cage The Elephant\, inviting people into a counter cultural realm for one-night-only. \nWith a work-rate that far out-strips their peers\, the band have created a community that could rival that of the Grateful Dead\, building their audience show by show. \n“There’s no computers\,” Jaz says. “It’s a group of musicians playing because those songs are inside them\, and they’ve got to get them out. It’s not some sanitised space.” \nAfter a decade of non-stop travel\, new album Valley of Distraction is a moment of pause\, their most focussed and intentional record yet\, it’s a sign that the storms of the pandemic could never sink their ambitions. \nThe album was produced alongside Jim Sclavunos\, known for his seminal work with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. An astonishing feat of storytelling\, it’s a record that thrives on community. \n \n\n \nLinks\nwww.tankusthehenge.com \n

SUMMARY:Fabiano do Nascimento
DESCRIPTION:Fabiano do Nascimento is a Rio de Janeiro-born\, Los Angeles and Tokyo-based guitarist\, composer\, arranger\, and producer\, known for his stunning tapestry of intricately woven\, multi-string performances. \nFabiano is a singular voice in contemporary music\, blending the deep traditions of Brazilian jazz with an adventurous\, genre-fluid approach. His music effortlessly moves between hypnotic ambient soundscapes\, intricate acoustic-electronic textures\, and the infectious rhythms of bossa nova. \nRooted in the rhythms of Afro-samba and choro\, his compositions fuse elements of American jazz\, experimental electronica\, and orchestral arrangements\, creating a sound that is expansive by nature. His unique voice in contemporary music has led to collaborations with world-class artists such as Airto Moreira\, Arthur Verocai\, Sam Gendel\, Carioca Freitas\, Beirut\, Aloe Blacc\, Daniel Santiago\, Itiberê Zwarg\, and Vittor Santos\, among many others. \nFabiano’s musical journey began in Rio de Janeiro\, where he grew up in a family deeply connected to music. His great-grandfather\, Ladario Teixeira\, was a blind virtuoso saxophonist who helped shape the instrument’s role in Brazilian music. Though initially trained in classical piano\, Fabiano’s passion was ignited when he picked up the guitar at age ten. His devotion to the instrument led him to study intensively under the mentorship of his late uncle\, Lucio Nascimento\, a revered bassist\, composer\, and arranger. \nIn 2001\, Fabiano moved to Los Angeles\, where his distinct artistry quickly gained recognition. He first made waves as a founding member of the critically acclaimed Latin jazz group Triorganico before launching a prolific solo career. His discography spans nine full-length LPs\, released on esteemed labels including Now-Again Records (Dança dos Tempos\, Tempos dos Mestres\, Prelúdio\, Ykytu\, Lendas)\, Far Out Recordings (Mundo Solo)\, Leaving Records (Das Nuvens)\, and Real World Records (The Room). His music has been celebrated by major media outlets\, with highlights including a feature on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. \nA seasoned live performer\, Fabiano has toured extensively across North America and Asia\, and his debut European tour in 2024 saw multiple sold-out shows\, including a standout performance at London’s ICA. \nHis versatility extends beyond intimate solo and ensemble performances—he has also played with a symphony orchestra in Brazil\, further showcasing the depth and adaptability of his artistry. \nWith a sound that is both timeless and forward-thinking\, Fabiano do Nascimento continues to carve out a unique space in global music\, seamlessly bridging past and present while captivating audiences worldwide. \n \n\n \n“A spellbinding display of musical virtuosity and spiritual connection.”\nClash Magazine \n“Charming and intimate”\nPitchfork \n“A celebration of acoustics”\nThe Guardian \n“The Rio-born guitarist whisks you away from any woes and plonk you down on a sidestreet in Lisbon on a dusky evening where the beer flows smoothly\, and a frisson of passion is afoot.”\nFar Out Magazine \n \nLinks\nfabianomusic.com \n

SUMMARY:China Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Liverpool originals China Crisis have always made music that’s far easier to love than to define. For more than four decades now Gary Daly and Eddie Lundon\, collectively better known as China Crisis\, have been writing and performing some of the most distinctive\, catchy and sophisticated pop songs out there\, from “Wishful Thinking”\, “Black Man Ray”\, and “King in a Catholic Style” to “Christian”\, “Arizona Sky” and “Down Here on Earth”. \nThe band originally emerged in 1981 from their native Kirkby as the songwriting duo of vocalist/keyboardist Daly and guitarist/vocalist Lundon\, who have been working together ever since. Citing influences as varied as Brian Eno\, Davie Bowie\, Stevie Wonder\, Eric Satie and Talking Heads\, it’s not surprising that their sound was quickly distinguishable amongst their peers\, combining synthpop with reggae\, country and other styles with their own unique melodies and harmonies to create distinctively sophisticated but catchy pop in a style all its own. Their 2024 release China Greatness (featuring elevated\, cinematic new arrangements of the \nsongwriters’ own favourite tracks from across their catalogue\, and mixed by multiple-Grammy award winner Mark Phythian) peaked in the album charts at record-setting levels for the band\, and their recent tours around the globe have served to both build the loyalty of existing fans and entice new legions of ardent new followers in the process. Truly beloved for their live performances which combine their engaging music with a healthy dose of Scouse humor\, and with the clear kinship the band have with their fans\, audiences always leave China Crisis shows the all the happier for having been part of the moment. \n \n\n \nLinks\nwww.facebook.com/chinacrisisofficial \n
